no, not yet, i'm moving in at the end of the month.

as far as i know, Irvine Pacific is my builder (san mateo)... my cousin who bought a California Pacific home in WB pretty much has the same appliances, a/c, water heater, etc, as mine, and his service rep was the guy as i got.

usc, have you signed anyone up at san mateo?  at the risk of sounding like i'm promoting the community i bought (i really am not)... san mateo is in it's 5th phase and has roughly 5 homes left (as of 1 week ago)... if san marcos releases 6 at a time, that would mean they are in their 4th phase...

didn't want to hijack that other thread... does anyone know when the 241, 261, 133 and 73 freeways will stop charging toll?

Are you talking about the 261or the 133?  And do you mean literally or figuratively... I can never tell with some people on this board...

so they've sold 26 homes in roughly 3 months... let's just call it 8 a month (since they did start at the end of march).. or 2 a week... is that faster or slower than primrose or sevilla?  what about compared to los altos or santa barbara?

there is primrose, and sevilla in protola spring for ~530k detached [condo] too... the ones in portola springs have two hoa, this one in stonegate has just one... so monthly nut comes to about the same. comparison of the three here...http://www.talkirvine.com/index.php?topic=1572.msg20121#msg20121

do you expect wages to increase in 6 months... i thought you said inflation is impossible w/o sustained rising wages?

they are in phase 5... 4 houses left in all the phases... 3 in 5, 1 in 4, i think.  since phase 4 they don't have "included options"... phase 5 is $1500 more than phase 4.  (plan1 = 562k, plan2 = 572k, ?) 6 homes per phase.. that means 26 homes sold since they started taking registrations at...

i never claimed to be a business major... or finance... my point is that i think they have more self control then they have control over other people... which makes more sense to me... but again... i don't claim to be a business major, and no i don't need or want to take jc classes.  (but does...

simply stating that i'm wrong doesn't prove your point... do you something to show that tic actually tells other builders when to put homes on the market?

how am i "clearly wrong"?... you're saying they can't control themselves but yet can control others... i'm saying it's the opposite... they can control themselves and they can not control others... we are in agreement here then.. you can't base home buying decisions on purely financial factors...

...  i would think it's the opposite. you are right you never used the term "financial vehicle"... but my point was that if you tried to tell anyone that they would lose out on this or miss out on that... then they can tell you to shut the front door cause you yourself, won't put your money...

Of course it does, every home put on the market regardless of price point and to a certain extent regardless of city, does affect every home on the market.  Whether the house is higher or lower than my house it takes one family out of the market.. that changes the supply demand equation...

So tic can't control the market by limiting the homes they build on land they own, yet they can tell other builders when they can put homes on the mls...

If I'm not mistaken you had this long thread with iho where you were saying that tic does not have control over the market but now you are saying they are able to tell other companies when to put stuff on the mls?

yes indie, you are crazy... the homes were "dumped" by van daele homes and william lyon... not TIC or Irvine Pacific...

Hey indie not trying to pick a fight here but just wondering if I'm not mistaken you said that buying a home should solely be a financial decision ... So if you are so sure prices will drop by 20%+...why do you continue to hold on to your house?  Why don't you sell your house lock in your gains...

can we count new communities?  my five would be... 1) Shady Canyon 2) Turtle Ridge 3) Laguna Aultra 4) Quail Hill 5) Turtle Rock

i would take the lower priced home...
